Abarat: Absolute Midnight by Clive Barker

2.0

Definitely not Barkers best. This is the third book in a series that is suppose to be five and I think inevitable in a series you have a dud book. The first two books were very entertaining and i read through them with in a week...this book has taken me ages to get through because it just didn't go anywhere fast and felt fractured. I became less and less interested in the characters and their fate which let's face it why read a book you don't really care what happens. My hope it is one of those transition books ala Feast of Crows and the book that follows will be much more compelling.
